andrew55 wroteYea. It's good. They called me to see if my line can handle 8 Mbps. They asked me to replace the modem i have with the modem from IDM because "other modems don't give them the actual attainable rate". My maximum attainable rate on the thompson is a little over 5 Mbps while that number goes up to more than 16 Mbps on my new modem. I don't get it.
I do, the guy who came yesterday told me the IDM modems have a custom Firmware built exclusively to accommodate "Lebanese" crappy Internet config. Giving them actual values. Without them they don't get speeds according to their config but a general assumption.
Hope that was clear enough.
